Professional, knowledgeable and efficient! I will never use another company and I HIGHLY recommend them. Prior to spraying my home for bed bugs, I was shown credentials and given a thorough walk through of the pest. I felt very informed and values as a customer.

Lisa Griffith

I loved this company, I particularly loved Don. He is a no-nonsense professional that would rather tell you the truth about your situation than tell you lies to make you feel good; a trait I admired greatly. Don’t waste your time for bedbugs with any other company…

Common Residential and Commercial Bed Bug and Pests Located in Birmingham:

Acrobat Ants

Acrobat ants are found both indoors and outdoors. When found outdoors, they nest near moisture, such as under stones and woodpiles or in rotting logs. When found indoors, they nest in damp areas, such as in roofing near leaking skylights or near the foam sheathing underneath siding. Oftentimes, these ants inhabit the areas that carpenter ants or termites have already damaged, as they commonly clean out the debris left from these pests. They are commonly mistaken for termites.

Earwigs

How can I get rid of earwigs?

The most important step in earwig eradication is eliminating all of their hiding spaces. Create a “dry zone” around the foundation of your home that is about 6 to 12 inches wide by removing all dead leaves, mulch, and other organic material. Trim all shrubs and trees that cause damp, shady areas near your home. Also, move all logs, decorative stones, firewood piles, and other landscaping items away from the foundation of your home. Double check all of your gutters and downspouts to make sure they drain away from the foundation of your home, further eliminating moisture.

Spiders

How can I get rid of spiders in my home?

There are many preventative measures you can take against a spider infestation. First and foremost, keeping your house clean can prevent a spider infestation by eliminating spaces for them to hide. Make sure to tightly seal all food to prevent potential spider prey from entering your home. Check all window and door frames and screens to ensure these insects can not crawl into them. You should also remove all vegetation from directly outside of your home, as spiders love to hide in the dark, moist area underneath it.

Carpenter Bees

Is getting rid of Carpenter bees difficult? How do I get rid of Carpenter bees?

In the past, people have tried to trap or spray carpenter bees in order to control the issue, which tends to worsen the problem. Carpenter bees burrow inside of the wood in and around your home and can cause devastating damage to the structure, so it is best to call a pest control professional for the extermination of these bees. Hi-Tech Pest Control has the specialized equipment, pesticides, and knowledge to exterminate Carpenter bee infestations of any size. It is crucial to have a timely treatment for carpenter bees, as these bees are known to be damaging to the structure of your home. Call us today or schedule your free inspection!

Fleas

How do I get rid of fleas in my home?

Preventative measures include sealing gaps, cracks, and holes in order to keep out rodents or other potential hosts from entering your home. Washing bedding and keeping your home clean and clutter-free is also helpful. Additionally, if you suspect you might have a flea outbreak, be sure to wash and groom your pets and take them to the veterinarian as a precaution. There are a variety of over the counter products that promise to help remove fleas, but they are rarely effective and do not get to the root of the flea problem. It is best to call a pest control professional, as every case is different and varying or multiple solutions may need to be employed for each different case.

Ticks

How do I get rid of ticks inside of my home?

The most obvious sign of a tick infestation is the ticks themselves, which may be found after the discovery of the presence of disease or other fluids transmitted by the tick to their host organism. Although most species of tick do not thrive in the home, it is important to take preventative measures against these parasites. Be sure to repair all crevices and gaps between the inside and outside of the home, and also keep the grass cut short.

Centipedes

How Do I Get Rid of Centipedes?

Centipedes can be exterminated at home, but it is best to contact your local pest control professional to ensure that they are properly treated. Chemical treatments can be effective in the short-term, but may give you a false sense of security in the long run. At Hi-Tech Pest Control, we combine these chemical treatments with a proactive approach towards centipede eradication. To find the source of the problem, we perform a full inspection of your home and help correct the risk factors for a centipede invasion, such as moisture problems, identification of holes, cracks, and gaps that enable these insects to come inside, high-risk clutter areas to clean up, reducing the number of insects that the pests prey on in the home, and removing all indoor centipedes with a vacuum. Call Hi-Tech Pest Control today, or request a free inspection!

Mice

How can I get rid of mice?

One preventative measure you can take against mice is to seal all cracks, crevices, gaps, and holes larger than a pen cap with cement. Do not use wood, as these rodents can chew through it. Cleanliness is also a factor with mouse infestations. Be sure to seal all food in a glass or metal container with a tight lid, and also make sure to wash dishes after use. A major hydration source for these rodents is from scavenged food particles, so keeping crumbs and food morsels off of floors and counter-tops can also help keep them out.

Yellow Jackets

How do I get rid of yellow jackets?

Yellow jackets are pollinators that eat many harmful insects, so you do not need to take any action unless there is a stinging risk for people or pets. To prevent yellow jackets from nesting, it is beneficial to keep all trash cans closed and clean so that yellow jackets cannot scavenge for food inside or outside of the can. You can also purchase specialized yellow jacket traps; however, due to the fact that there can be thousands of these pests inside of a single colony, that may be ineffective for larger infestations. It is recommended that you call a pest control professional to solve this problem.

Cockroaches

How Can I Get Rid of German Cockroaches?

German cockroaches can live from 100 to 200 days, but are known for their ability to reproduce quickly. They have few natural predators inside of human habitats. Due to these factors as well as the fact that they are known to spread disease, a German Cockroach problem can grow out of hand quite rapidly. To exterminate German Cockroaches, professional treatment is required. Call Hi-Tech Pest Control today for your free inspection!

Rats

How do I get rid of rats? Is getting rid of rats easy?

Since rats are known to spread disease, it is best to contact your local pest exterminator. Preventative measures include sealing all entryways in walls, eaves, and the roof, trimming all tree branches so that they can’t climb, and making sure that all windows and doors are screened.
